The [Sorry] State of Web Design

Love Letters

Filed under: General,Web Design— arlen@ 8:17 am

I do. Love letters, that is. The tender shape of the “s”, the strong curve of the “G”, the broad back of the “m,” all these and more draw my eye and fill my mind. Which is one of the things that makes web design so tedious. I look forward to discovering new, beautiful, fonts. […]
